Word Of The Day! Aroint [ uh-roint ] :- Obsolete. begone: Aroint thee, varlet! E.g: “Well, my power has not reached its height, but I am still strong enough to deal with you. Aroint ye!” www.researchclue.com WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF AROINT? The obsolete imperative verb or exclamation aroint! or aroint thee! means “begone!” Aroint has no convincing or even plausible etymology. The phrase Aroint thee, witch! first appears in Shakespeare’s King Lear and Macbeth. Aroint thee, witch! next appears in the works of the Scottish author and antiquarian Sir Walter Scott in 1816.
